Students are also encouraged to pursue scholarship opportunities outside of Roane State. Sources for information include public libraries, civic groups, and the internet. However, students and parents should be aware that some companies offer to search for scholarships for a fee. These companies should be avoided as there are sufficient free scholarship search possibilities.
